I had never heard this word before a week or two ago, and now I’m seeing it in memes, discussions, etc. Why is a resin becoming more prevalent online?

    It’s supposed to be strange. The magi are mystic wizened men (magi are zoroastrian priests) come to give a poor child gifts fit for a prince, specifically ones related to death. Because they saw his birth in the stars. It’s a weird story, but it’s supposed to be weird. It’s about reinforcing that Jesus was destined from birth to die a king. Also it should be noted that king of kings is a title used by both Jesus and Iranian emperors.
